Gynecological Exams

Gynecological exams are an essential part of a woman’s healthcare routine, helping to detect any abnormalities or infections early on and ensuring overall reproductive health. At Revere Health, our providers perform comprehensive gynecological exams, which may include a manual examination of the pelvis, screenings for infections, and routine cancer screenings such as Pap smears.

What to Expect During a Gynecological Exam
Pelvic Examination: A manual exam is conducted to assess the health of the reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and cervix. The provider will check for any abnormalities, such as swelling, cysts, or signs of infection.
Pap Smear: A routine test to screen for cervical cancer by collecting cells from the cervix. This is typically done during a gynecological exam to detect any abnormal cell changes.
Breast Examination: A physical exam of the breasts may also be performed to check for lumps, abnormalities, or early signs of breast cancer.
Screening for Infections: Depending on the patient’s symptoms or medical history, the provider may screen for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other infections affecting the reproductive system.

Why Gynecological Exams are Important
Early Detection of Health Issues: Regular exams allow for early detection of conditions such as ovarian cysts, fibroids, and cancers of the reproductive system, improving the chances of successful treatment.
Preventive Care: Routine exams are key to maintaining reproductive health, preventing infections, and monitoring changes over time.
Screening for Cancer: Pap smears and other screenings included in a gynecological exam help detect early signs of cervical, ovarian, or breast cancer.

How Often Should You Get a Gynecological Exam?
For most women, it’s recommended to have a gynecological exam once a year as part of an annual wellness visit. However, your doctor may recommend more frequent exams if you have specific health concerns or are at higher risk for certain conditions.
